Benchmark Caveat
Benchmarks and provider capability notes are directional, not universal rankings. Results can shift with prompts, tool use, latency targets, pricing tier, safety filters, context length, and the workload mix a real team runs.
See the linked official model, docs, model-card, or pricing source for provider-published capability notes.
Best for
Teams that need a very large context window across many input modalities at Flash-tier speed.
Skip if
Skip if you need published knowledge-cutoff dates for compliance, or if a Pro-tier model is required.
Strengths
Google lists Gemini 3.6 Flash with a 1,048,576-token input limit, a 65,536-token output limit, supported function calling, and the broadest input modality set in this directory: text, image, video, audio, and PDF. Generally available.
Weaknesses
Google does not publish a knowledge cutoff for this model. Output is text only, and the rate card varies by tier and modality.
Agent suitability
Useful for agent workflows when the provider supports tool use, long context, structured outputs, or workflow-specific APIs.
Kingy AI take
Use this as a source-backed shortlist candidate, not a universal ranking. Re-check official provider docs and run a task-specific trial before production adoption.

What this evidence state means
- Definition
- The claim was previously checked, but its review window expired or a material change may have invalidated it.
- Required provenance
- The prior evidence and check date are retained, together with the expiry or change signal that triggered recheck.
- Owner
- Kingy freshness queue owner and assigned editorial reviewer
- Freshness rule
- This is already outside its freshness rule. It must not be presented as current until reviewed against current evidence.
- Disputes and corrections
- Use “Suggest a correction” on the record. Kingy editorial reviews the cited evidence, records material corrections, and changes or removes the state when it is not supported.

Coding notes
Use official docs and live evals before selecting this model for production coding workflows.
Reasoning notes
Provider capability notes are useful but should be validated on representative prompts and tools.
Creative notes
Use a small creative test set before standardizing outputs for brand, media, or customer-facing work.
Research notes
Track release notes and model lifecycle notices because availability and aliases can change.
API pricing notes
Use the stable GA ID gemini-3.6-flash with medium thinking and tools disabled. Record response modelVersion and usage metadata. Only the paid tier is eligible: Google's terms state paid content is not used to improve products; verify project-level zero-data-retention eligibility separately.
License notes
Commercial/API terms apply unless the linked official source states otherwise.
Hardware requirements
Cloud/API model; local hardware requirements are not published as a self-hosted path.
